A webhook is an automated way to send data from your community to another application when a specific event happens.
Instead of manually exporting data, webhooks instantly send information, such as new member signups, purchases, course completions, or form submissions, to tools like your CRM, email platform, or automation system. This allows you to connect your community to other systems and automate workflows in real time.
